Now, just to be clear, the e-book is only available on the Nook Color and Nook Tablet at present. You can also read it on your computer but it is not accessible by other devices. That may certainly change in the future, and when it does change I'll be sure to keep you posted!

Since there can only be one Nook winner, I'm also giving away 5 copies of the cookbook (the paper version, not the e-book!).

My favorite cupcake is based on nostalgia and was originally
made my my mother's mother; Just a classic chocolate cupcake that's then
hollowed out filled with her buttercream frosting (but it MUST be colored
yellow) then with crowned with that same frosting.

In an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat all ingredients together except rainbow sprinkles. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes, scraping down the bowl occasionally. When thoroughly mixed, gently fold in rainbow sprinkles. Stir only briefly, because the colors will begin to run quickly.

Pour batter evenly into cupcake papers. Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely before frosting cupcakes.

In a large saucepan, whisk together flour and 1/2 cup of milk until smooth. Set over medium heat and and whisk in remaining milk and salt. Whisk constantly until mixture is thick and paste-like (visual cue: it will resemble Elmer's white glue). Remove from heat and let cool completely.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine butter and sugar. Beat until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and mix well.

Beat cooled flour mixture into the butter mixture on high speed. Beat for several minutes (6-10) until sugar granules have dissolved. You can check this by rubbing a little between your thumb and forefinger.

Hhmmm my favorite probably would be a chocolate cupcake with a raspberry buttercream with maybe a drizzle of either chocolate or raspberry sauce and a little sprig of mint! Lol something you might see on a cover of a magazine! :)

You'd think that answering such a simple question such as "what's your favorite cupcake" could be easy to answer...but I'm at a loss. I'm honestly not sure what kind of cupcake I like. I know I like really fudgy, almost like ganache, forsting. But as for the cake part... I'm not sure. :/ This is such a depressing answer, I'm sorry.

About a year ago, I made mojito cupcakes. the recipe was in one of those slightly cheesy recipe pamphlets you get at the check-out line, but I didn't care, because they were delicious. The only problem was that the "frosting" was just whipped cream and it ended up melting *everywhere* by the end. Still tasty :)

My favorite cupcake is chocolate with a chocolate fudge frosting. Oooorrrr maybe the margarita cupcake with homemade lime curd that I actually messed up by using the wrong sugar...it was better tasting the wrong way than when I made it again the right way. Go figure. ;)

While I haven't attempted making them yet, my favorite cupcake is dark chocolate with raspberry frosting and filling. Every time I have one, it's like I've died and gone to heaven. My email is poisonpoppies@hotmail.com

I'm a chocoholic, so my favorite cupcake is the classic chocolate cake with chocolate frosting! I also love banana cupcakes with Nutella swirl, yumyum!! And s'mores cupcakes are oh-so-delicious, especially in the winter when you want a taste of summery goodness. :)

I'm glad you had a perfect birthday! Thanks for having such a generous giveaway, Heather!! Have a fabulous week!

Happy Birthday sounds like you had fun! :)I've been meaning to make your macaroons but somehow the ingredients intimidate me still..but one day I will haha.I don't have a favorite flavored cupcake (as long as there are no coconuts..) but I love any well-moisture cupcake with a decent amount of frosting!

OOOH, I have an addiction to snowballs in the summertime. My favorite kind of snowball is half "wedding cake" flavored and half "raspberry" flavored. So, it goes to reason, that this combination makes a pretty fantastic cup cake as well. You bake white cake flavored with extra almond/amaretto because I LOVE IT. Frost a thin layer of seedless raspberry jam on top, and then top that with a fluffy Chantilly cream frosting flavored with Chambord. I just got an imaginary brain freeze. Oh, and Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday :).What a lovely way to celebrate your b'day with this wonderful giveaway!!..My Lil one loves chocolate cup cakes with a strawberry frosting and its my fav too. (seduceurtastebuds@gmail.com)

What an awesome giveaway to celebrate! My favorite cupcakes are your Coca-Cola Cupcakes with Salted Peanut Butter Frosting! You've got all the ingredients that I LOVE, packed in one little cupcake package. :)

Last week my hubby celebrated his birthday and I made him Bacon & Bourbon cupcakes. It was a bourbon flavored cake with bits of candied bacon inside. They were frosted with vanilla bean buttercream and drizzled with bourbon caramel. Then I stuck a big piece of candied bacon on top. They were really yummy, and for the time being, they are my favorite cupcake. lacey(at)smalltowncookie.com

My absolute Favorite cupcake was a Pineapple cupcake with a Mango ganache. It was so yummy. Very tropical summer. Thank you for the contest, but most of all thanks for the fun Blog. You make me very hungry! Sandra MortonScifipunk@msn.com

My husband and I took a trip to Denver for some time away together, and on the way out we stopped at a sweet little cupcake shop and picked several flavors. My favorite by far was "the bees knees" - lavender cake with honey buttercream. The taste may have been influenced by carrying them around all day while I waited until we could eat some "real" food first, but they were absolutely divine.

Happy birthday Heather ! Yesterday i' ve rcvd your book from Amazon, and it made me happy all day. My favorite cupcake is Banana cupcake which i ate in Starbucks years ago in California, but i am sure your recipes can beat that taste. Thank you for the gift; my email address is; hatice.salihoglu@gmail.com

Hello! My favorite cupcake are the Coca Cola Chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter frosting! I made it for my family and everyone loves them (even though they were quite skeptic at first). Email:ctrisha3@gmail.com

My favaroite cupcake is the Chocolate Heaven ones I made from Peggy Porschen's boutique Baking book .... I don't even like chocolate cake...... I know gasp! But I had 3 or 4 of these in a couple of days and just thinking of them makes my mouth water!! http://www.unitedcakedom.com/2012/05/peggy-porschens-chocolate-heaven.htmlunitedcakedom@gmail.com

My favorite cupcake is a either a Strawberry cupcake with strawberries in it with fluffy vanilla bean icing, and a strawberry on top. Or for the fall and winter a pumpkin pie cupcake with chi frosting on it! Sooo good! My email is bethanymarler@gmail.com

Mmm...my favorite cupcake is probably banana with pb frosting. I made them with my bf and his brother and we added cookies in the bottom. They were delicious, but even more so, since we made them together!

Happy birthday, Heather! As you and your creations are such an inspiration to me, your Triple Salted Caramel Cupcakes are my all time favorite. I've never had anything quite like them, and the process was fun, challenging and rewarding. Thanks for being awesome! juliannelouisesmith(at)gmail(dot)com

Happy Birthday Sprinkles! Your description of the day sounds so perfect. I love my birthday. I plant seeds and lay out little wishes long in advance. I love being on the giving end as well as the receiving...especially if there are cupcakes involved!

Happy Birthday Heather! My daughter got married last month and I made all the cupcakes for the wedding. Her colors were pink, white and yellow so most of the cupcakes were those coors however my favorite was the pistacio cupcake with vanilla almond buttercream frosting. Thanks, Debbie dsluc1707@hotmail.com

my favorite is definitely either funfetti or red velvet!! (i made your heritage red velvet last week for my sister's birthday and she went nuts for it!! absolutely delicious, thanks for the recipe!!! :) )

My favorate Cupcake would be a Pineapple Cupcake. This is made with a regular white cake mix recipe and instead of using water for an ingredient you use pineapple juice. Then make beautiful brown sugar buttercream frosting with candied pineapple sprinkled on top.... this is my all time favorite cupcake....
